[edit] Biography
He joined the Communist Youth League[1] and then the Communist Party of China in 1976. In 1996, he studied Tibet at the Central Party School and described being "fascinated with" Tibet and its "long hours of sunshine, rich water resources, and diversified geological and climate conditions".[2]
Having worked in the petrochemical industry,[1] he was appointed governor of Qinghai Province from January to December 2004. His promotion to party secretary of the committee for Tibet Autonomous Region from December 2004 to May 2006 was seen as part of a trend in appointing "more highly educated and competent" administrators to lead provincial governments.[1]
